I am pleased to announce the PE monitors for 2011 - they are Jack H, Harri P, Ari P, and Tom P. Congratulations also to Shannon L and Ben H who are the new basketball captains. Thanks to all the students who applied for the positions and have shown such an interest in facilitating physical activity.
Last Friday Rooms 9 and 10 held a team triathlon. If the competitiveness and determination displayed in that event are anything to go by, then we are in for an amazing year. Thanks to Denise and Cam for helping out at the pool and to the students who encouraged each other. Mr Spencer has made a short film of the event which I hope to display here soon.
In first place, finishing in a slighter different place were Kieran J, Erika, and Mitchell.
In second place but through the tape first (confusing!) were Ari, Jade G, and Phoebe.
Coming next in 3rd place were Mikayla, Saskia, Ashley B, and Lucas.
